[Background music plays]

Sound of Shell adaptation.

Child

Mommy, I’m making a video.

Sofia

So what’s it about?

Child

You!

Sofia

Oh, nice!

[Video footage]

We open on an inset centred against a white background. The inset displays shaky cell phone video footage, filmed from the point of view of the child holding the cell phone. The series of footage shows a residential estate and our protagonist, Sofia, bending over the trunk of her car to remove a model. She straightens, turning until she smiles into the camera, seen against the background of houses, green foliage and a blue sky. We cut to aerial drone footage of a commercial building flanked by large car parks.

Interview with Sofia

[Title]

Digital Transformation Lead

Sofia

My name is Sofia, and I’m a working mum, but I’m also a Digital and Transformation Lead at Shell.

Sofia Digital Transformation Lead

[Video footage]

We see interior close-up footage of Sofia speaking to the off-camera interviewer, seen against an out-of-focus office background. A series of exterior slow-motion footage then shows Sofia striding across a paved entrance area towards the Shell building where she works.

Sofia

Every day, I’m looking at how we can use digital technology to become more efficient.

[Video footage]

Again, we see interior close-up footage of Sofia speaking to the off-camera interviewer, seen against the out-of-focus office background.

Child

But what do you do?

Sofia

Good question!

[Video footage]

We return to the inset centred against a white background. The inset displays shaky cell phone video footage, filmed from the point of view of the child holding the cell phone. The series of footage shows Sofia in her home, placing a bowl of fruit on a table and then looking into the lens as she answers her child.

Sofia

I’m a champion for change.

[Video footage]

Again, we see interior close-up footage of Sofia speaking to the off-camera interviewer, seen against an out-of-focus office background.

Sofia

I feel very fortunate, because my work excites me.

[Video footage]

We transition to a series of close-up shots that show Sofia zipping up her overall, clipping a gas detector to her lapel, and donning safety glasses beneath her Shell-branded hardhat. Next, we see wide low-angle footage of Sofia kitted out in safety attire, walking across an exterior paved area.

Sofia

I’m growing professionally, and I’m involved in the energy transition.

[Video footage]

Next, we see Sofia getting up from her desk, carrying her laptop with her. We cut to close-up footage of her speaking straight into the camera, and we see a poster on the wall behind her. The poster has two Shell workers standing in front of an industrial plant. A graphic of multiple red, yellow and white lines sweeps through the scene.

Sofia

It’s a really good feeling, because it’s a big task and it matters.

[Video footage]

Low-angle footage shows Sofia onsite again, kitted in her safety gear. We cut to an aerial view of the industrial plant, then back to Sofia, now speaking directly into the camera as it swivels around her before pulling back rapidly.

Sofia

I’m very proud of where I work. I’m actively playing my part. And to me, that feels good.

[Video footage]

A series of footage shows two of Sofia’s colleagues onsite, using handheld devices and pointing up at the large storage tanks alongside them. We return to interior close-up footage of Sofia speaking to the off-camera interviewer, seen against an out-of-focus office background.

Sofia

I’ve been working for Shell for 16 years now, and I’ve evolved.

[Video footage]

We pull back on an aerial view of the industrial complex, then cut to tracking footage of Sofia striding away from a reception area and passing several doors as she approaches the shot. Close-up low-angle footage shows Sofia at her desk, opening her laptop. We return to close-up footage of Sofia speaking to the off-camera interviewer, seen against the out-of-focus office background.

Sofia

Change came when I started my family. When I returned to work, Shell supported me to grow and develop.

[Video footage]

We return to close-up low-angle footage of Sofia seated in her office chair, lifting a photo frame from her desk. We cut to close-up footage of the image in the photo frame, showing her children, a boy and a girl. We return to close-up footage of Sofia speaking to the off-camera interviewer, seen against the out-of-focus office background.

Sofia

And I shifted from hands-on technical roles to more strategic thinking, like how we can continue to provide sustainable energy.

[Video footage]

Next, high-angle footage shows Sofia and colleagues seated around a boardroom table. We return to close-up footage of Sofia speaking to the off-camera interviewer, seen against the out-of-focus office background. We cut to close-up footage of wall-mounted screens, showing a presentation slide at frame-right and meeting software at frame-left, showing the other meeting participants. We return to footage of Sofia seated at the boardroom table.

Sofia

The culture here is collaborative, and that’s something I find invigorating.

[Video footage]

Tracking footage shows Sofia and a colleague walking down a corridor, seen first from behind, then in front view. Next, we see four colleagues walking side-by-side through a high-ceilinged open reception area, approaching the shot, followed by more footage of a group of colleagues engaged in discussion within an office environment.

Sofia

We know each other well. This facility and all the staff in it, we function like a family.

[Video footage]

A series of footage shows Sofia and other colleagues eating together around a table in a reception-style area with floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides. We cut to close-up footage of Sofia speaking to the off-camera interviewer, seen against the out-of-focus office background, before returning to more footage of the colleagues gathered around the table and talking and laughing together.

Sofia

Just another day in the office. Let’s see who’s around.

Sofia

Morning, Craig.

Craig

Morning, Sofia.

Sofia

How are you?

Craig

Good as always.

[Video footage]

We see selfie footage of Sofia at work, speaking directly into the camera, then swiveling the camera around to film her colleague, Craig, as she greets him.

Sofia

I think our world is changing, and we’re seeing technology really come into spaces. So as that technology grows, it unlocks potential. Colleagues whose ideas inspire me, their resilience and focus is amazing.

[Video footage]

We continue to see Sofia filming in the office as we see another colleague speaking into the lens while standing next to some very hi-tech-looking equipment. We see more exterior footage of two colleagues at the industrial plant, one operating a drone controller while the other looks up into the sky. We return to interior footage of Sofia sitting down with a colleague in front of a large screen and looking at and discussing the data displayed on the screen. We return to close-up footage of Sofia speaking to the off-camera interviewer, seen against the out-of-focus office background, then another series of exterior footage shows the colleagues at the plant as they engage with data on their handheld screens and operate the drone.

Sofia

Shell enables me to be the best version of myself, at home…

[Video footage]

A series of footage shows Sofia at home with her children, as follows: sitting on the floor with the kids, playing with a snap circuit; brushing her daughter’s hair; sitting on the floor again as they color in together; Sofia in the kitchen, lighting candles on a chocolate cake; Sofia smiling down into the lens and waving.

Sofia

And at work.

[Video footage]

Exterior low-angle footage shows Sofia in close-up, holding a touchscreen display, which we see from behind, and smiling. Next, we see profile-view footage of Sofia working at her desk.

Sofia

The most exciting thing about working for Shell is the chance to be a part of the future of the energy transition.

[Video footage]

A series of footage shows Sofia on site at the industrial plant; we see her surveying the plant and using her touchscreen display, and end on a profile-view close-up of her face.

Sofia

And that’s something I really want to tell my kids about.

[Video footage and animated sequence]

We zoom in on close-up footage of Sofia speaking into the camera, seen against the background of the floor-to-ceiling windows previously described. Over this, a yellow line draws the shape of a Pecten, and text displays below this. Then, concentric Pecten shapes pulsate out from the original shape until the frame is filled with radiating Pecten shapes.

Description:

In this video, we see how Elena, a Hydrogen Business Advisor in the Netherlands, has found

fulfilment through her job with Shell.

How I'm thriving as I'm Powering Progress - Elena's story Transcript

[Background music plays]

Orchestral Sound of Shell adaptation, starting with light, rhythmic keys and building to a crescendo.

[Video footage]

An inset displays against a white background. The inset shows archival footage of Elena, as a little girl

and gymnast, running across the floor at a Royal Dutch Gymnastics Union event, as we can see from

the banner at the side of the arena. Then footage of Elena applying make-up with a make-up brush fills

the frame. She is shown from behind, in slight profile view, and we see her reflection in the mirror

facing her. We return to the inset showing footage of the gymnastics event, and we see little Elena

waiting on her mark. Next, filling the frame, we see low-angle close-up footage of Elena’s face in the

mirror as she applies mascara to her eyelashes.

[Audio]

Announcer voiceover and crowd noise.

Elena

I’ve always pushed myself, and ever since I was little, I’ve loved a challenge.

[Video footage]

The inset displaying footage of the gymnastics event shows the camera zooming in on little Elena as

she waits on her mark. Next, filling the frame, we see close-up footage of Elena in the mirror, adjusting

her shirt collar.

[Video footage]

We return to the inset displaying footage of the gymnastics event, showing little Elena dismounting

from a vault and assuming her dismount pose to the sounds of applause. Still in the inset, we switch to

footage of a slightly older young girl doing her dismount pose, and then we see Elena, now a teenager,

walking away from a balance beam, as an older girl in a t-shirt and trackpants, possibly a trainer, joins

her, taking her arm as they walk off together, still with the sound of applause in the background. Next,

filling the frame, we see close-up footage, as though from behind Elena, of her hand picking up her

gold necklace from the basin.

[Audio]

Crowd applause.

Elena

I think I was ten or 12 when I realised the world was changing, and I wanted my work to have meaning,

while pushing myself in my career.

[Video footage]

The inset displaying footage of the gymnastics event shows teenaged Elena standing on the podium,

waiting to receive her medal. Next, filling the frame, we see Elena in the mirror, fastening the gold

necklace around her neck. Again, the inset displaying footage of the gymnastics event shows Elena

receiving her medal and hanging it around her neck. Next, filling the frame, we see Elena adjusting her

necklace.

Elena

And I knew that working at Shell, I’d be able to do exactly that.

[Video footage]

The inset displaying footage of the gymnastics event shows Elena striking a gymnast’s pose, her medal

now hanging around her neck. Next, filling the frame, we see a close-up, as though from behind Elena,

of her hands holding her mobile phone in landscape mode while the screen displays the archival

gymnastics footage. The point of view changes as we see low-angle close-up footage of Elena smiling

while watching the footage on her phone. Again, the inset displaying footage of the gymnastics event

shows a young girl doing a floor routine.

[Audio]

Crowd applause.

Elena

My name is Elena, and I joined Shell straight after university as a young graduate.

[Video footage]

Close-up footage shows Elena speaking to the off-camera interviewer against an out-of-focus office

background.

Elena

To me, there is no bigger challenge than the energy transition, and now I’m working at Shell, doing

exactly what I wanted to.

[Video footage]

Outside a multi-storey building, we see Elena mount her bicycle and set off. Next, low-angle close-up

footage shows Elena as she cycles down a street that is lined with multi-storey buildings, and we see

some trees in the background. Side-view footage shows Elena cycling past a building, outside of which

we see many bicycles parked. Next, a panoramic shot of a city street shows trams and other traffic

moving along the street, and of note is the many people cycling down the street. Next, we see a

moving tram in close-up, as well as other vehicles passing. A series of footage shows cyclists passing

over a bridge that crosses over a canal, again showing multi-storey buildings, trees and some vehicles

in the background.

Elena

I’m based in the Netherlands, working with low-carbon fuels at a company that supports me in my

career and my life goals.

[Video footage]

We return to low-angle close-up footage of Elena cycling down a city street, a wider series of footage

then showing her cycling past vehicles and bicycles parked at the curb. High-angle footage shows boats

moored along a canal, again showing multi-storey buildings, trees and parked vehicles in the

background. Low-angle footage shows many cyclists passing the shot as they cross a street.

Elena

Right now, I work in hydrogen, and it’s an exciting time, because Shell is tackling this at scale.

[Video footage]

Wide profile-view footage shows Elena cycling across a paved area and passing the shot. As she does

so, we see a Shell Hydrogen-branded car parked in a parking space. Close-up footage shows “H2 in H2O

out” written on the side of the car. We see Elena from behind, cycling towards a building in the

distance. Medium-angle footage shows Elena walking confidently through a large reception area,

approaching the shot.

Elena

I’m working on a new business model for hydrogen trucks. And today is a very exciting day. We’re

going live with the first-ever hydrogen trucks in Germany. And that’s a project that I’m actually leading.

[Video footage]

High-angle footage of Elena’s laptop screen as she tilts the screen. Displaying on the laptop’s screen is

an image of Shell’s black and white hydrogen truck. Close-up footage shows Elena speaking into the

camera, seen against a white background. Next, we see high-angle footage of the hydrogen truck

driving along a straight road in a rocky, mountainous area, then we see low-angle close-up footage of

Elena smiling down at her laptop, which is off-camera.

Christian Hoellinger

Hi, Elena. I’m doing well. How are you?

[Split-screen footage]

The frame is split into two side-by-side screens, one showing Elena in close-up, the other showing

Christian in close-up, with the hydrogen truck parked in the background. Their names display at the

bottom left-hand corner of their respective screens, and it’s clear that they are using a video

conferencing platform.

Elena

Can you maybe show a little bit of the truck that’s behind you?

Christian Hoellinger

Absolutely.

[Video and split-screen footage]

As Elena talks, high-angle footage shows Christian filling Elena’s laptop screen, as just described. We

return to the split-screen footage of the video conferencing platform, also as described above.

Christian Hoellinger

Everything is running smoothly. A very quiet truck, very good to drive.

[Video footage]

We see circling drone footage of the hydrogen truck, which is parked in a flat, open area in a

mountainous region.

Elena

That truck is looking really good.

[Video footage]

Close-up footage shows Elena speaking into the camera, seen against a white background.

Elena

It’s also very empowering and purposeful to be able to contribute to the energy transition.

[Video footage]

Partly rear-view/partly side-view footage of the hydrogen truck shows the three PH2P hydrogen fuel

storage tanks held in a frame behind the driver’s cab. In lower frame-right, a cameraman, seen from

behind, records footage. We briefly see low-angle close-up footage of Elena smiling down at her

laptop, which is off-camera, then we see high-angle footage of Christian on Elena’s laptop screen, as

described.

Elena

And I love the fact that I get to work with an incredible team.

[Video footage]

Close-up footage shows Elena speaking to the off-camera interviewer against an out-of-focus office

background.

Elena

There’s only water coming out of the tailpipe, right?

[Video footage]

Low-angle footage of Elena, seen against the white background, shows her looking down at her laptop

screen as she speaks.

Christian Hoellinger

Right.

[Video footage]

Drone footage shows the hydrogen truck rounding a hairpin bend in the mountainous, rocky area

mentioned previously. We see trees and low cloud in the background.

Elena

I’m constantly learning, and that means I am progressing.

[Video footage]

Close-up footage shows Elena speaking to the off-camera interviewer against an out-of-focus office

background.

Elena

My colleagues really listen to me. I really feel that there is a care for each other.

[Video footage]

Wide-angle footage shows Elena and a colleague in conversation as they walk down a corridor,

approaching the shot. Medium-angle footage of the two show them turning towards each other as

they share a laugh. Close-up footage of Elena shows her speaking to colleague in an office

environment. We see the colleague only partially in extreme frame-right. However, we switch to a

wider view and see that Elena is, in fact, speaking with three colleagues in an office environment. They

are sharing a coffee around a tall, round table.

Elena

Can meet the timeline, but there’s still a few things that we have to do.

[Video footage]

Close-up footage shows Elena speaking to her colleagues in the office environment just described.

Elena

To be able to tap into that wisdom, I find that incredibly inspirational.

[Video footage]

Extreme close-up footage of Elena shows her confidently walking through a large open reception area,

scattered with office plants, though the background is out of focus.

Elena

That culture has helped me thrive outside of work too, and that allows me to bring my best self into

work.

[Video footage]

High-angle footage shows boats moored along a canal, again showing multi-storey buildings, trees and

parked vehicles in the background. Next, medium-angle footage shows Elena in gym clothes, jogging

next to a canal. Next, a series of footage shows Elena doing some stretches next to the canal and then

resuming her jog.

Elena

There is a part of me that feels just like that little girl, but I’ve grown.

[Video footage]

The inset displaying footage of the gymnastics event shows a young girl running up to and launching

herself at a vaulting horse. Next, filling the frame, we see low-angle close-up footage of Elena jogging

over a bridge. We return to the inset displaying footage of the young gymnast assuming her dismount

pose on the mat, to audience applause. The inset then displays a video montage of archival footage of

the little gymnasts doing their routines.

[Audio]

Crowd applause.

Elena

I’m now part of the big discussion. I really have the ability to change lives for the better. This makes me

feel very happy and fulfilled.

[Video footage]

Profile-view close-up footage of Elena shows her confidently walking along a street, once more in her

business attire. Wider-angle footage shows Elena, seen from behind, walking towards a waiting ferry.

Profile-view footage of Elena shows her looking out over the water as her hair is lifted lightly by the

wind. High-angle footage of Elena’s shoes shows her striding across the ferry’s deck. Wide-angle

footage shows the crowd of people on the ferry. We then see close-up footage of Elena on the ferry,

smiling into the camera. The sun setting in the background causes the surface of the water to glimmer

and Elena’s hair to glow. Next, wide-angle tracking footage shows the light of the setting sun

shimmering across the surface of the water, and the buildings along the water’s edge are cast into

silhouette.

Elena

And to find all that in a job? Well, that’s pretty special.

[Video footage]

Close-up footage shows Elena moving in to fill the shot as she speaks into the camera. We see the ferry

in the out-of-focus background.

[Video footage and animated sequence]

Over close-up footage of Elena smiling into the camera, a yellow line draws the shape of a Pecten, and

text displays below this. Then, concentric Pecten shapes pulsate out from the original shape until the

frame is filled with radiating Pecten shapes.

How I'm thriving as I'm Powering Progress - Rishabh's story - Transcript 

[Background music plays] 

Mid-tempo electronic music built on understated electric piano chords and a lo-fi drum kit, layered with reverb-heavy synth and piano flourishes over the top. 

[Video footage] 

A ground-level shot looking up at a tall Shell building with a large Shell logo on the side, seen through tree branches in the foreground. A shot of Rishabh in a maroon polo shirt from the perspective of his laptop pans up from the keyboard to his smiling face. He begins typing, fingers moving in the extreme foreground, as we hear the sound of the keys. 

Rishabh 

I've always been extremely passionate about technology. 

[Video footage] 

Two photographs of a smiling baby Rishabh on a rocking horse are shown side by side. These are then wiped over by a photo of Rishabh as a small child standing in school uniform in what appears to be a classroom. Finally, this is wiped over by two copies of the same photo of an adult Rishabh side by side. The right shows Rishabh sitting and holding a video game controller on his lap. The left is the same photo but zoomed in on his face. Then appears an outdoor shot of purple flowers with Rishabh, out of focus, sitting at a table in the background. 

Rishabh 

My earliest memory is wanting to get my hands on a laptop or the latest console to play a few video games. 

[Video footage] 

A shot of Rishabh at the same table, working on his laptop, in what appears to be a rooftop garden patio. A tight shot of the side of his smiling face. A head-and-shoulders shot of Rishabh speaking while looking off-camera. Another quick shot of Rishabh working at the table in the rooftop garden.

A head-and-shoulders shot of Rishabh speaking directly to the camera. A yellow silhouette of the Shell logo traces itself around his face, appearing partially behind his head as if his face is coming forward out of the shape. 

The on-screen text appears below Rishabh’s face as larger forms of the same silhouetted logo shape continue to ripple outward concentrically, filling the frame. 

Rishabh 

For someone like me who really loves technology, I'm thriving at Shell and I'm able to use my skills to address issues that are impacting societies across the world, issues that actually matter, and that makes me very proud.
